This captivating lithograph, titled
EDITORS COMMENTS
The Game of Checkers, plate one from Landscapes and Interiors," was created by the renowned French Post-Impressionist artist Edouard Vuillard in 1899. The image showcases three women engaged in a serious game of checkers, their faces reflecting intense concentration and a sense of friendly rivalry. The setting is a cozy, beige-toned room, filled with the warm glow of natural light filtering through the windows. The women are seated face to face, their bodies angled towards each other, creating a sense of intimacy and connection. The use of color in this lithograph is striking, with the purple and brown tones of the checkerboard contrasting beautifully against the soft beige background. The women's outfits are also rich in color, adding to the overall visual appeal of the piece. The lithograph, which measures 13.8 x 18.9 inches, is a color lithograph on grayish ivory china paper and is a testament to Vuillard's mastery of the lithographic technique. This work is an excellent example of Vuillard's contribution to the Nabis artistic movement, which emphasized the importance of color and emotion in art. The image invites us to reflect on the simple pleasures of leisure activities and the connections that can be formed through shared experiences. The Game of Checkers is a valuable addition to any art collection and a testament to the enduring appeal of Vuillard's work." The Art Institute of Chicago is proud to house this beautiful and historic work in its permanent collection, where it can be appreciated by visitors from around the world. This image is not only a visual delight but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of women in late 19th-century France and the art movements that shaped the world of art.
